CONEY ISLAND SOUVENIR. 



^p^ few years ago Coney Island was a low 
- gffl^waste of sand, renowned for its cooling 
^ breezes, but sought out by comparatively few 
' people during the heated term to bathe or fish. 
To-day, Coney Island is one of the finest sum- 
mer resorts on the Continent. 

The Souvenir purposes to point out briefly, 
yet accurately, the various means of reaching 
the Beach, the time necessarily consumed, and 
where to go after you get there, and, crowning 
the whole, a correct and complete map of the 
/ Island, showing every place of interest and 
' importance from Norton's Point to Sheepshead 
Bay. This information is given in the interest 
of the great public exclusively, and no misrep- 
resentation will be permitted in any case. 

A glance through its pages will convince any 
one that the book is a trustworthy encyclope- 
dia of all the routes to the various Beaches, 
(including time of arrival and departure of all 
trains and boats to and from Coney Island), to- 
gether with the best places, only, ©f resort. 

Our advertisers are of the best class only, 
old established and thoroughly trustworthy 
houses. 

In conclusion, we bespeak for the SouvENrR 
your kind indulgence, good wishes, best help.

A QUAINT EXTEMPORE POEM ON CONEY ISUND. 



By Wm. Wilson, Brooklyn, 



|ONE and forever are the whoops of 
Canarsiee, 
No more doth the brushwood conceal the 
dark foe, 
No more do the Rockaways hunt through the 

cedars 
Which lined the broad beach stretching out to 
the sea. 

Gone are the vineyards and the surf-sprinkled 

plum trees 
Which lured to Manhattan young Hudson the 
brave, 

! No more do we barter the skins of our Island 
I As did the wild Indian who dwelt on our shores. 

i When the Hidf Moon bore down on the white 
sands of Coney 
The wild wolf was heard through the tall pointed 
pines, 

I While out through the surf came the clamoring 
I natives 

To meet the brave crew as they rowed for the 
shore. 



CONEY ISLAND SOUVENIK. 



Their powwows they raised to the spirit of evil. 

And offered the wampum surrounding their 
bodies 

For beads and for trinkets the white men pre- 
sented, 

And friendship cemented the hour of their land- 
ing. 

i^own through the decades hath jjassed the 

strange story 
Which gave to the river surrounding Manhattan 
A name that 'midst nations is spoken with pride 
And hailed as the conduit of ne'er dying freedom. 

Cojumbus, the Spaniard, in the height of his 

prowess 
Ne'er dreamed that the fleets of the world would 

be anchored 
Breabt deep on the waters which Hudson since 

named, 
"While up through Gowanus his Dutch ship was, 

steered. 

When they gazed on the woods of Ihe high Ih- 

petonga, 
Which towered o'er the stream in the front of 

Manhattan, 
While sported the savage his tree-formed canoe. 
Fresh freighted with furs from the wolf and the 

beaver. 



COJNliY ISLAIMJJ SOUVKINIK. 



The glass beads of Amsterdam paid for the 

treasures 
For which the wild savage had toiled through 

the season, 
Yet happy was he the bright gewgaws to gather, 
And gave for the baubles the fruits of his labor. 



But changed is the scene since the advent of 

Hudson, 
For the hands of the white man have levelled the 

woodlands. 
And the dusky-browed savage has gone to his 

fathers 
And left Ihpetonga the queen of the ocean. 

The wigwams were cleared for the homes of the 
white man, 

The loom took the place of the bow and the 
arrow, 

The axe .and the .adze then fashioned the tim- 
bers 

And ])uilt the proud ships which were launched 
on our waters. 

No more o'er the woodlands or down by the 

river. 
Where proud Ihpetonga has lifted her head, 
I )0 we hear the wild whoop of the red-painted 

Indian, 
And the howl of the wolf in the forest is ended.

But up from the sea rose the white sands of 
Coney, 

And gave us the Island, the j^ride of our coun- 
try, 

Where men of all nations can mingle for pleasure 

And pass the hot months 'midst the spray of its 
waters. 

The rich and the lowly, the proud and the 

humble. 
Send back to their fatherland tales of their 

sporting 
On the banks of the ocean where Hudson first 

landed 
j Far back in the decades among the wild savage. 

How little we think as we sport in the waters .—

THE WONDERFUL 

CAMERA OBSCURA 

JVes^ Brighion Beach, Concourse^ near iJie 
Observatory. 

What is a Camera Obscura ? is often asked. 
Imagine yourself in a darkened room with mir- 
rors placed in such a position in the roof that all 
surrounding objects within range of the mirrors 
are reflected by their aid on a white movable 
disk in the centre of the darkened room. 

Not only are the landscape and figures repre- 
sented in their proper colors, but the motions of 
aJl objects are exquisitely rendered. The move- 
men^ts of the leaves of trees, children walking or 
running, horses and carriages moving, men at 
leisure or work, surf dashing on the Beach, bath- 
ers in their gambols, clouds changing as in na- 
ture — in short, nature's penciling of scenes which 
can only be reflected by mirrors. Professor 
Janton is sole proprietor of both Camera Ob- 
scuras at this place and at Prospect Park, Brook- 
^vn.

Thy quick conception and thy speech,

Of wonder-working faculties 
With which thou art alone endowed 
By nature set upon the world

Yet thou wert dust, and must return 

To dust again. 

Look back through time 
And try to print upon your brain

As yet had not begun to be.

Somewhere existent, with the pov\Tr 
To call to being all forms of life 
Which now the universe display ?

THE BROOKLYN, FLATBUSH & CONEY 
ISLAND RAILROAD. 

The depot of the Brooklyn, Flatbush and 
Coney Island Railroad is located at the junction 
of Flatbush and Atlantic avenues and adjoining 
the Thirteenth Regiment Armory, being the most 
centrally located of all the Coney Island rail- 
roads, and is connected by horse cars to Fulton, 
Wall and South Ferries. On ordinary summer 
days thirty-three trains per day, each way, are 
run on this road. The ordinary interval between 
trains is half an hour, except on holidays and 
nights when fireworks are exhibited at the Beach, 
the headway being frequently reduced to fifteen 
and even ten minutes. It is well known that this 
road is, in proportion to the ground it covers, 
one of the costliest in the United States, having 
cost, including the magnificent hotel at Brighton 
Beach, about one and a half million dollars. The 
cars are of the finest material and finish that run 
to the Beach and rarely, if ever, a second behind 
time. Full summer time table will be found in 
connection with this.

The season of i88 opens grandly at Coney 
Island. No labor or expense has been spared 
by the managers of the railroads, of the great 
hotels, of the bathing pavilions, of the palace 
steamers, and of the restaurants and other places 
of resort and amusement to increase the facili- 
ties for reaching, and the accommodations at, 
this unsurpassable summer resort. The bathing 
is so enjoyable and so convenient that one may 
attend to his business in store or office or her 
business at store or home until tea time and then 
go to Coney Island and have all the pleasure 
and see all the sights that one can see at any 
pleasure resort in the world, take a bath, have 
the world pass in review before him or her in 
gorgeous turnouts and resplendent apparel, with 
the witchery of the finest music to add zest to 
the enjoyment, and get back home at a good bed- 
time unless one should be tempted to remain and 
enjoy the hospitality of the hugest and most hos- 
pitable and inviting of caravanserais. 

Many Brooklyn people will avail themselves of 
the steamboats to visit the island during tlie 
heated term. We give all the details they need 
for that purpose also.

are necessarily in the city at any time during the 
hot season, with or without their families, and 
tourists from abroad, unaccustomed to the fervent 
heat of American summers, will here find a cool 
and salubrious retreat, free from noise and dust, 
and with a temperature averaging ten degrees 
lower than that of the city. 

Residents of New York and Brooklyn who 
have, as a choice of evils, sent their families to 
some distant point for the summer months, can 
avoid that separation, and enjoy at Coney Island 
all the advantages of city, country, and seaside 
combined. 

HEALTHFULNESS — BATHING. 

As a tonic and restorative for energies impair- 
ed by overwork or illness or by close confine- 
ment, surely the best and cheapest medicine is 
the sea air and sea bathing. For the latter, no 
better facilities can be found or desired than are 
here provided. 

Comparatively few people are aware ot the 
magnitude and magnificence of the late improve- 
ments which have changed the character as well 
as the name of Coney Island, and none who have 
failed to visit Manhattan, Brighton and West 
Brighton Beaches, as the subdivisions ot the 
Island are now called, can comprehend the 
changes made from any ordinary description, but 
the reader will find interesting and entertaining

RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF CONEY 
ISLAND. 

The true history of the later develo])menl of 
Coney Island as a watering place and seaside re- 
sort for the metropolis would be a strange ro- 
mance, and probably it will have a stranger sequel 
in the next few years. Nothing more remark- 
able in the way of sudden prosperity and popu- 
larity, after long neglect and continued disfavor, 
is known in the history of any like enterprise. 
Within less than thirteen years four miles of the 
Coney Island beach was a barren waste, to which 
nobody claimed title, and which few people ever 
visited. Part of it was so desolate that few per- 
sons ever ventured to penetrate the wilderness. 
It was given up to "clammers" and "crabbers," 
as the fishermen who lived back in the swamps 
of the creek which divided it from the main land 
of Long Island were called. At the extreme west

end a small pavilion and a few bath-houses ex- 
isted, and a little further east there was a small 
hotel, set far inland, at which an invalid or two 
could half live, half starve. To the west end a 
single dilapidated steamboat, which did duty most 
of the year as a tug-boat, and sometimes con- 
descended to the ignominy of labor as a lighter, 
made a morning and afternoon trip during the 
summer months, but the character of the per- 
sons availing themselves of this means of reach- 
ing the surf was such that decent and quiet 
folks, v/ho did not court insult and wished to 
avoid robbery and riot, shunned the route. A 
railroad track built to connect Bath, New 
Utrecht and other little towns along the bay coast 
v^ith Brooklyn, was extended to a point near the 
centre of the island; but it had neither depot nor 
hotel at its end, its trains ran no faster than a 
street horse line, and it was patronized chiefly by 
picnic parties. In fact, it is scarcely seven years 
since legal requirements compelled this railway 
company to drive a horse in front of its locomo- 
tives, in order to comply with ordinances against 
steam in the village streets. There was also a 
horse railway to a part of the island still further 
east, but it required at least four hours to go 
from Fulton Ferry to the beach. On the whole 
stretch of beach there was one hotel, where lodg- 
ing might be had for about ten persons; the

Others of the four or five buildings were mere 
sheds, called pavilions, where clams and crabs 
could be eaten and bathing suits obtained. 

Within seven years, and chiefly within the last 
five years, seven railways, running at the most 
rapid rate, on nearly tangent lines, supplied with 
the largest locomotives, and each train capable of 
seating 1,000 persons in finely finished open pnb 
ace cars, have been put in operation ; and Brook- 
lyn, which then limited speed to that of a horse, 
will probably authorize any number of 

elevated and underground connections to be 
built through its most important thoroughfares. 
The one dilapidated tug-boat has been replaced 
by a fleet of magnificent excursion steamers, 
which ply with the regularity of ferries, and on 
which a lone lady or child is safe from insult or 
injury. Claimants for the beach have arisen in 
plenty. The town of Gravesend has discovered 
that it has a title over 200 years old. Leases 
that eight years ago went begging at $75 each 
are now held at $50,000, and the question of 
title and leases is the basis of all political agita. 
tion in the little old hamlet of the solemn and 
suggestive name. Land which nobody then 
claimed, and on which few had the courage to 
"squat," cannot now be bought for any price to 
be named. The lonely fisherman, who caught

of clams, cultivated in Gravesend Bay, are the 
cause of breaches of the peace and of miniature 
war itself, while the pursuit of the soft-shell crab 
has become an organized industry. The four or 
five pavilions have been multiplied until there are 
nearly loo, each with its restaurant and bath 
houses ; and the one family hotel, with its five 
shabby rooms, has been replaced by twenty times 
the number, four at least of which are as fine as 
any to be seen at any sea beach resort in the 
world, and the whole ot which are capable of 
comfortably lodging 20,000 persons at night. It 
is safe to say that not more than Jioo,ooo was 
invested in Coney Island hotels, pavilions, rail- 
ways and steamboats prior to 1874, while at this 
moment there is employed fully f io»ooo,ooo of 
capital ; and where fifty persons then found occu- 
pation for three months of the year 5,000 now 
find almost constant employment. There are 
now over 3,500 bath houses along this beach, 
where four years ago there were not fifty.

It is a matter of amazement that the value of 
this beach should have been so long unperceived.

lu returning thanks to our many patrons and further presentius 
our services to them and the public, we simply say a constant and 
busy practice in our profession for the past 20 years should be a 
suflBcient guarantee of our ability to perform all dental oi)erationH, 
both surgical and mechanical, in a Imost satisfactory manner. 

Carefully note the following. 

The usual price of extracting under Gas is $2 the first tooth au'l 
$1 for every subsequent one, making a charge alone of $17 for 
simply extracting the upper set of natural teeth ; whereas, in our 
business,, we extract all the teeth that are to be extracted, making 
no charge therfor, and besides furnishing an upper or under set of 
the very best sets of plain and continuous gum sets of artificial 
teeth from $10 to $20, and partial sets of one tooth or more in pro 
portion, Avhich is, as observed, in reality giving the artificial sei 
away; for both extracting and set (as we have shown) donotco:=t 
aa much as the simple extraction of the diseased teeth alone. 

We manufacture the Gas fresh daily, 

Dr. G. Brockway a Co. have administered the gas for the past 
20 years with uniform success;in which time thousands of diseased 
and aching teeth have been removed by us from the mouths of 
suflering humanity without causing the slightest p.uk or in- 
convenience to the patient whatever. 

Artificial Sets of Teeth 

Besides manufacturing allkinds of Rubber and Coralite work, 
we possess facilities (enjoyed by no other Dental establishment in 
this city) for getting up the most perfect fitting plates on gold and 
platina. 

In respect to operations on the natural teeth, we promise to treat 
them in the most correct and scientific manner.

villages along his line, and the attractions of- 
Coney Island were apparently not perceived by 
him until late — in fact, too late for him to take 
advantage of ihem. It was not until 1874 that 
A. R. Culver, of Brooklyn, recognized that a road 
admitting of the rapid transit of large numbers 
to the beach would prove a paying enterprise. 
Alone and almost unaided, jeered at forv/hatwas 
considered the folly of building another railway 
to a beach that already had one railway and a 
horse car line that paid no dividends, he began 
the construction of the Prospect Park and Coney 
Island Road. Indifference to it v/as so great 
that he could not get a permit to build within the 
city line of Brooklyn. His own idea of the 
scheme was simply that a rapid road to the island 
would induce enough people to go there to make 
the traffic alone pay. He did not contemplate 
even a pavilion, much less a hotel, at the beach. 
When the road was about to be opened he looked 
about for a big tent to protect the guests invited 
to the opening. Not finding one to suit he built 
a pavilion, in which dinner was served. At once 
the need of a hotel and restaurant became clearly 
apparent, but the idea of building a family hotel, 
for the accommodation of ladies as well as gen- 
tlemen, was not even then thought of. It would 
have been considered preposterous if suggested 
that ladies or children could have been induced

to dwell over night in this horrible and sandy and 
solitary place. The result Avas that Cable's 
Hotel was built for gentlemen only, and so ex- 
isted till this season, when the expiring leases of 
the numerous pavilion keepers in front of Cable's 
gives Mr. Culver opportunity to build a magnifi- 
cent family hotel around the Observatory, with 
that unique structure as an elevator, not only to 
view the island from, but to convey guests to 
rooms on the fourth and fifth floors. The dream 
of a seaside hotel five stories high is not at all 
preposterous in view of what has been accom- 
plished. 

The first notion of a family hotel on a grand 
scale was a Yankee notion. It was bred in the 
brain of Austin Corbin, a banker, of No. 6i Broad- 
way, and this was the manner of its begetting : — 
He had an invalid son, to whom sea air during 
the greater part of the year was pronounced ab- 
solutely necessary. Certain family and business 
reasons requiring his daily presence in New York 
compelled Mr. Corbin to select Coney Island as 
a seaside home, and so he moved with his son, 
the rest of the family, his horses and carriages, to 
the Oceanic House, the one small family hotel al- 
luded to as in existence prior to 1874. In riding 
and driving about the island Mr. Corbin discov- 
ered the condition of the titles and leases of the 
ground, and found that they could be easily

bought up. About 1874 he discovered also the 
bankrupt condition of the Bay Ridge and Jamaica 
Railroad, and being asked for loans to the com- 
pany made advances which were not repaid, and 
thus he found himself in possession of dead prop- 
erty. He then bethought himself of buying up 
the Coney Island property, making the railroad 
to Jamaica a road to the Beach, and of building 
a niagnificent family hotel at its end. .Plis origi- 
nal idea was a building to accommodate 700 
guests and to cost $250,000, but after the con- 
tract was drawn up and the j^lans made he 
changed his mind (for the scheme was only an 
experiment), and ordered plans and contracts for 
the present temporary structure to accommodate 
only 200 persons. The project of a larger hotel 
has since been revived,, and doubtless additions 
for the accommodation of three times the number 
now lodged will be made at the close of the 
season. In lieu of this, however, the company 
may build, as projected, a large number of cot- 
tages facing on Sheepshead Bay, in the rear of 
and to the east of the hotel, for the accommoda- 
tion of families. These would at once, provide 
still water bathing, boating and fishing, in ad- 
dition to the ocean and surf facilities, and add to 
the seclusiveness which the company considers 
the true basis of permanent prosperity. That the

A RUNAWAY HORSE. 

While bathing at Coney Island last week I met and was 
recognized by an old friend, and so changed was he that 
for some time I could not believe but that there was some 
mistake until he reminded me of an occurrence when I 
once saved his life (or at least from broken limbs) by 
helping him out of the way of a runaway horse, when he 
was so crippled with rheumatism that it was utterly im- 
possible for him to help himself. It happened as fol- 
lows: My friend had been crippled for three years with 
rheumatism in the hips and knees, and could onlv move 
around by the aid of crutches. On the day before uiention- 
ed, he had with assistance just alighted from a DeKalb 
Avenue horse car when a runaway horse came galloping 
full speed down Fulton Street & into DeKalb Avenae. My 
friend so terribly crippled could not possibly get out of 
the way & was certainly in great danger. I being mus- 
cular sprang forth and. seized him around the waist and 
by great effort lifted him on one side, just as the fright 
ened horse galloped past, and my friend was saved. 

When I had fully recognized him, znj surprise was indeed great, 
for instead of the man on crutches, he was skipping around in a 
bathing suit and gallantly attending two lovely young ladies about 
eighteen or twenty both blondes, I learned they were his nieces; his 
rheumatism had entirely disappeaerd. I questioned him closely 
and asked him what he had used to give such immediate and sur- 
prising relief. He replied, I heard from a lady that had been cured 
by David J. Cotter's Belt of Life and Electro Magnetic garments at 
No. 80 Court street, Brooklyn, N. Y. I called upon him and his ex- 
planation of the value of his improved Magnetic clothing over any- 
thing of the kind ever offered to the public, satisfied me of its effi- 
cacy; he also handed me many letters from physicians and others, 
speaking of the benefits derived from the use of his Belt of Life, I 
at once obtained the garments he advised and you see the result, 
and what is better, he only asked me for one-half the purchase 
money, allowing me to pay the balance when cured. Last 
week I paid him, and at the same time took two of my relatives 
with me, one suffering with asthma, the other with Indi- 
gestion. They both i^urchased garments, and yesterday told me 
that no money could tempt them to be without their goods. What is 
most surprising to me, I can wear my set in the extreme heat and 
feel perfectly cool, my relations also made note of that and I tell 
you frankly I would not be without my belt of life for its weight 
in ten dollar bills. As my freinds had the ladies to attend I left him; 
this morning I called upon the relatives mentioned, and they en- 
dorsed all he said. I also called upon Mrs. Ashforth of 192 Atlantic 
Avenue, Brooklyn, who had been cured of a lame knee in three days 
by use of knee cap; she was in raptures over the curative effects of 
said goods, and had sent Mr. Cotter a splendid testimonial, which 
he handed me to read among many others after he had explained 
in a scientific manner the cause of disease and the effect produced 
by his wonderful garments. 

Yours Respectfully, JOSEPH HOOPER, Brooklyn, E. D,

multitude were inadequate appears from the fact 
that after the first season in 1877 a pavilion ac- 
commodating as many persons as the hotel itself 
had to be built, and already it has been found 
necessary to devote a wing of the amphitheatre in 
the bath houses to the same purpose of dining 
the occasional visitor. The Point Breeze pavil- 
ion at the end of the Marine Railway has also 
been added of necessity, and the Oriental Hotel, 
added would appear to supply every 

needed want. In fact, as Mr. Corbin says, no 
man can foresee the developments of any one 
year or tell when it will be necessary to devise 
new accommodations for the thousands who ask 
only the needful facilities of coming and going. 

The Brighton Beach Hotel, with its surround- 
ings, was the next advance made by the various 
powers which control the Coney Island district. 
The projectors saw the advantage of a hotel su- 
perior in all its appointments to the existing ones 
and a double advantage in a double track air- 
line railway from the heart of Brooklyn. A mill- 
ion and a half of dollars were invested in this en- 
terprise by the Brooklyn, Flatbush ^nd Coney 
Island Railroad Company, consisting of the lead- 
ing men and eapitalists of Brooklyn, and the en- 
tire work was constructed in three months. The 
hotel has no superior in appointments on the At- 
lantic coast, or at Newport or Saratoga, and the
